A cloud computing environment enables responsibilities which previously may have been provided by an organization's own information technology department, to be delivered as service layers within a cloud environment, for use by consumers that are either internal (i.e., private) or external (i.e., public) to the organization. The resources of a cloud environment are typically shared by multiple users, for example, in the case of a multitenant environment by the multiple tenants in that environment, to run services. In such an environment, it is useful to be able manage the use of those services that will! utilize resources, in particular when a service is no longer needed by a user or tenant, or if the service will consume too many resources.
